NIKE SB DUNK LOW
STREET HAWKER


From noodles to hot pot, skaters across China fuel their sessions with nosh from Chinese street food vendors, also known as "Hawkers.”⁠

Artist Jason Deng created watercolor paintings representing six different regional dishes and combined them alongside a whole mess of other hidden gems to make an SB Dunk that brings the sweet, the sour, and everything else.⁠

This is the Street Hawker SB Dunk Low.


6 Cities - 6 Foods

Beijing – Bean curd milk & Fried Circle,
Chengdu – Hot Pot, Xi’An – Pita bread soaked in lamb soup,
Shanghai – Plain noodles,
Guangzhou – Roasted goose,
Taipei – Shaved ice with taro balls.

4. Embossed suede on the lateral side shows shredded pita bread pieces for a traditional Xi'an dish: pita bread soaked in mutton soup.
5. That mutton soup is represented in water-color patterns across the lateral side.
6. The Swoosh is depicted in a wood-grain texture to represent chopsticks.
7. On the lateral heel, water-color fading looks like Shanghai plain noodles, also called Yangchun noodles.
